       2. The stackable tray of  claim 1  wherein the bottom wall further includes a second centrally located slot. 
     
     
       3. The stackable tray of  claim 2  wherein the third panel of the divider includes a second tab configured to be inserted in the second centrally located slot of the bottom wall. 
     
     
       4. The stackable tray of  claim 3  wherein the first panel of the divider is angled toward the first side wall and the third panel of the divider is angled toward the second side wall. 
     
     
       5. The stackable tray of  claim 4  wherein the second panel is parallel to the third panel. 
     
     
       6. The stackable tray of  claim 1  wherein the glue panel is glued to an upper surface of the bottom wall. 
     
     
       7. The stackable tray of  claim 6  wherein the bottom wall includes a glue strip on the upper surface for gluing the glue panel to the bottom wall. 
     
     
       8. The stackable tray of  claim 1  wherein the glue panel has a width greater than a width of the first panel of the divider. 
     
     
       9. The stackable tray of  claim 8  wherein the first panel of the divider is parallel to the first side wall and the second side wall. 
     
     
       10. The stackable tray of  claim 1  further comprising a first corner post that extends upward from a first corner of the tray and a second corner post that extends upward from a second corner of the tray, the first and second corner posts having a height greater than a height of the first and second side walls and first and second end walls. 
     
     
       11. The stackable tray of  claim 10  wherein the first corner post and the second corner post are formed from a single blank of material having a side wall panel between the first corner post and the second corner post. 
     
     
       12. The stackable tray of  claim 11  further comprising a third corner post that extends upward from a third corner of the tray and a fourth corner post that extends upward from a fourth corner of the tray, the third and fourth corner posts having a height greater than the height of the first and second side walls and first and second end walls. 
     
     
       13. The stackable tray of  claim 12  wherein the third corner post and the fourth corner post are formed from a single blank of material having a side wall panel between the third corner post and the fourth corner post. 
     
     
       14. The stackable tray of  claim 10  wherein the first corner post includes a first tab extending upward from a top edge of the first post. 
     
     
       15. The stackable tray of  claim 14  wherein the bottom wall includes a first corner slot in the first corner configured to receive a tab from a corner post of a like tray stacked below the bottom wall. 
     
     
       16. A stackable tray comprising:
 a tray having a rectangular bottom wall, a first side wall extending upward from a first side of the bottom wall, a second side wall extending upward from a second side of the bottom wall, a first end wall extending upward from a first end of the bottom wall and a second end wall extending upward from a second end of the bottom wall, the bottom wall having a first corner slot at a first corner; 
 a first corner post extending upward from the first corner of the bottom wall at a height greater than a height of the first and second side walls and first and second end walls, the first corner post including a first tab extending upwardly from a top portion of the first corner post and a second tab extending upwardly from the top portion of the first corner post, wherein the first tab is perpendicular to the second tab, the bottom tray including a first slot in the first corner and a second slot in the first corner for receiving a first tab and a second tab of a first corner post of a like tray when stacked thereon; and, 
 a divider having a first vertical panel parallel to the first side wall, a second vertical panel at an angle with respect to the first side wall and the first end wall connected to one side of the first vertical panel, and a third vertical panel at an angle with respect to the second side wall and the second end wall connected to a second side of the first vertical panel extending upward from the bottom wall spaced from the first and second side walls and the first and second end walls of the tray, the divider including a horizontal glue panel connected to a bottom edge of the first vertical panel. 
 
     
     
       17. The stackable tray of  claim 16  further comprising a second corner post extending upward from a second corner of the bottom wall a height greater than the height of the first and second side walls and first and second end walls, the second corner post including a first tab extending upwardly from a top portion of the second corner post and a second tab extending upwardly from the top portion of the second corner post, wherein the first tab is perpendicular to the second tab, the bottom tray including a first slot in the second corner and a second slot in the second corner for receiving a first tab and a second tab of a second corner post of the like tray when stacked thereon.
